any crypto that isnt bitcoin, etc, or bch is just a scam imagine digging dirt out of the ground in your backyard and claiming it has value thats how i view crypto

Imagine digging that dirt polluted like a small country. That’s how I view Bitcoin.

Imagine trillions of joules of energy was going into a process that was securing money for the planet, without its legacy gatekeepers being able to control or dictate their arbitrary rules. A revolutionary peer to peer system that allowed value to be transferred digitally!

Then imagine folks that just fail to see this after 10+ years still think about coal power plants!

Narcissist sociopath. I'm a huge fan of dry humor (and British) so should be able to read sarcasm or dry humor but he just annoys me. Putting "as a millioaire" in video titles is the most crass thing I've seen.

There were two options in GPs edit and I stand by my choice. The guy thinks he's some sort of god for a mid-level fang role while scamming his followers.

You go to the bank leverage your amazing portfolio, now you have real money. And when everything comes crushing down, you're too big to fall, so the govt/banks bail you out. Amazing system we got.

I'm talking about the game. In reality, stocks don't have a maximum value. But it also sounds like it's worth noting here that in reality, you cannot borrow money based on a stock valuation set by a very low-volume trade to which you were a party.

Unless you're the bank yourself. But they don't do stuff like, that, right? Right?

You're stating that TechLead is a narcissistic sociopath who is engaged in scamming, such as with this alleged pump and dump scheme? There's over a hundred comments in this post, and so far nobody wants to detail the alleged criminal behavior.

It's a very serious claim to say that someone has mental illness, or that they are engaged in criminal behavior over cryptocurrency scams, especially in a public forum where you have zero ability to unring a bell.

Highly recommend CoffeeZilla (Youtube): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFQMnBA3CS502aghlcr0_aw He has a very good video recently on a scam being run by influencers and provides some pretty damning evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv6ne6VQCZI

This is my favorite YT channel atm. His video on Tether is excellent. There's also an episode of him on the Jordan Harbinger podcast that is worth a listen.

If you are familiar with the term 'Drama channels', they are a very toxic genre where the group finds a target and gives their opinion about the alleged offences. All good and well except they started to create the drama and their fans would dogpile on people or as twitter would describe 'Targeted harassment campaigns'. CoffeeZilla is a drama channel often with dubious opinion driven videos. There a few other drama c…

Sounds like something a scammer would say tbh.

There was a great series of videos on this called "Contrepreneur Bingo" by Mike Winnet. He took on all the usual suspects - Tai Lopez, Dan Lok, Dan Pena, Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone... Unfortunately it looks they all got pulled from youtube. Not on bitchute either.

Not sure who you refer to as being pulled, but looks like Mike Winnet is still up at least, good thing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UComkllJTMHNZr4UNxCThdcw

He had a whole series of videos called "Contrepreneur Bingo" where he would rip into them on an individual basis. Scrubbed from youtube. Kicking myself for not downloading them at the time.

It's the same argument as for profit prison systems.

While you are doing a social good by keeping violent offenders behind bars you also have a profit motive to ensure you have a stready stream of working entering the system to keep up with contracts and order quantity. Leading to many prisons being nothing more than forced labour camps.

In the same way, drama channels start out doing a social good. But they have a profit motive to find 'problematic' people, were the bar is lowered to ensure you have enough content.

You are basically punishing trying, raising the risks of failing to the level of social outcast.

Most of the obvious scams are obviously scams. So at what point do drama channels provide any more value than entertainment, when anyone can clearly see you are not going to make a million dollars drop shipping toasters.

Now their is the grey area, where its uncertain if a product is a scam. Talking about it is fine, but that's not how drama channels work. They make black and white claims, more often black because sensational content sells.

Let's not confuse things, these channels are for entertainment not social good.

I my girlfriend watches drama channels and I watched curiously as each and every successful female pop culture channel was targeted and brought down for being 'problematic'. I thought it was funny at first because they participated in the system that brought them down. Then I realised these channels were a form of social policing were after you remove the threat, the treashold for normal behaviour is lowered until you became the target of the mob.

I later figured out its envy that drives these channels, its entertaining to people to watch others fall from grace.

I have a question: > we picked a few stocks, and sold them to each other for a very low price, and then bought all of them up as the other students watched the trends. We repeated this for 1/2 of the stocks in the simulation. I can see how you could use this strategy to exchange a fairly low amount of money for these stocks. But that would mean you have less money than you started with, and more stock. > We then sold…

The goal of the class was maximum stock portfolio value (as set by market valuation). Everyone in the class started with a random set of stocks, and a set amount of funds. We looked at our portfolios and decided which to pump, and which to dump... then reversed when it was time to max out our portfolio values. When everyone is focused on the small picture, it is really easy to play the macro game. Note: You could put…

You didn't answer the question though.

Sounds like the answer is "yes, we maxed the total market cap" which is distinctly different from "we ended up with almost all the money". You didn't have the money, you only had a fake stock valuation bubble.
